    Actually the JWs hyperfixate on the idea that Jesus is literally God’s son.

    It’s an idea called Arianism and it is big heretical

      Arianism is the belief that Jesus was a creation of God, the same way as the world or the creatures that exist in his creation. Nicene theology holds that Jesus as an entity existed in spirit coeternally as a part of God, but neither doctrine states that Joseph was his father.

      Edit; minor correction: If my understanding is correct, Arianism specifically states that Jesus existed before the world, so there’s not really an interpretation that he was created at the conception.

      This again raises the question of why you keep making these claims.
